The tar file of particular package (notmuch in this case) is named
as $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).tar.gz. Therefore the best way to remove
previous link to LATEST is to remove all files beginning with
LATEST-$(PACKAGE)- and not relying how $(VERSION) string is constructed.
The notmuchmail/releases page used to have LATEST-notmuch-<version>
to link to the latest notmuch source tarball. This is confusing on
web page and on disk when the file has been downloaded. This change
looks a bit inconsistent with the 'rm' command just executed before.
$(TAR_FILE) is defined (currently) as $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).tar.gz;
as long as the prefix stays $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION) and version begins
with a digit then this line is good in execution point of view.
Use common sed tool instead of dpkg-parsechangelog (which is usually
available on debian systems only) to verify that debian version
information is consistent with version file.
verfy-version-debian, verify-version-python and verify-version-components
checked noneqality of the comparison strings and if got "positive"
answer then made that goal fail. But in case of the test ([ ])
execution failed it never got to the 'then' part of the line (and
the 'if [ ... ] then ... fi ' construct doesn't make the script line
fail in case of problems inside [ ].
This commit inverses the "logic", so that only if the comparison for
equality succeeds the script line will exit with 0 and execution
can continue past the failure case to the next line (executed by another
shell) with '@echo done'
The version from file "version" is propagated to the man page and the
python bindings via sed. Note that the git version is ignored because
of the check for MAKECMDGOALS.
We keep the lib/xutil.c version. As a consequence, also factor out
_internal_error and associated macros. It might be overkill to make a
new file error_util.c for this, but _internal_error does not really
belong in database.cc.
Currently this builds a native package, but since the source package
is throw away, it should not matter too much, except for the extra
warnings from lintian.
The extra +1 is so that if $(VERSION) is the same as the last released
version (for example outside a git repo) then the versions still order
correctly.
Thanks to Sebastian Spaeth breaking out version.py, this can be done
without loading notmuch.py, or using sed. version.py is not (yet)
autogenerated because it seems more important to minimize the
differences between the tagged version and the tarball.
This is a lighter weight version of the release target, intended to
support uploading release candidates to Debian.
As a side effect, filter ~ out of VERSION to make tag names.
This allows, e.g. gitpkg debian/0.x-1 to do the right thing. It also
helps enforce the convention that Debian upload -1 is identical to the
release tarball.
This supports both testing and use by non-upload privileged
users. Along with previous commits in the series, this lets one do a
dry run of the release process and created a tarball, signature file,
and release announcement to inspect before uploading.
The previous setup was dependent on the git-buildpackage configuration
to find the resulting tar file, and consequently a bit fragile.
We use pristine-tar instead to save a checksum-identical copy of the
tar file. This will also faciliate "non-native" debian packages, if
desired.
dput again depends on the local configuration, and mainly is a bit too
brave for me to do automatically.
The reasoning is that we might have some error in the build system
that causes something not to be rebuilt; this would potentially have
the tests run on the wrong version of the code.
The idea is to see if the version we are already releasing exists on
the notmuch website. Using wget allows more people to run this target,
and also allows people with ssh access to run it without access to
their keys.
Our use of GMimeSession was unneeded boilerplate, and we weren't doing
anything with it. This simplifies and clarifies that assumption.
If we want to do anything fancier later, the examples in the gmime
source are a reasonable source to work from in defining a new
GMimeSession derivative.
Since GMimeSession is going away in GMime 2.6, though, i don't
recommend using it.
This is primarily for notmuch-show, although the functionality is
added to show-message. Once signatures are processed a new
part_sigstatus formatter is emitted, and the entire multipart/signed
part is replaced with the contents of the signed part.
At the moment only a json part_sigstatus formatting function is
available. Emacs support to follow.
The original work for this patch was done by
Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>
whose help with this functionality I greatly appreciate.
Ever since we added support for "notmuch search --output=tags" the
"notmuch search-tags" command has been redundant. The recent addition
of alias support makes it easy to drop the explicit search-tags
command in favor of a simple alias that runs "notmuch search
--output=tags *".
So there's no longer any documentation of the search-tags command, but
existing scripts will not break at all.
Such as:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
This is implemented by having the configure script set a srcdir
variable in Makefile.config, and then sprinkling $(srcdir) into
various make rules. We also use vpath directives to convince GNU make
to find the source files from the original source directory.
add --bashcompletiondir and --zshcompletiondir (like --emacslispdir) to choose
installation dir for bash/zsh completion files
Make some features optional:
--without-emacs / --with-emacs=no do not install lisp file
--without-bash-completion / --with-bash-completion=no do not install bash
files
--without-zsh-completion / --with-zsh-completion=no do not install zsh files
By default, everything is enabled. You can reenable something with
--with-feature=yes
This option wasn't having the desired effect, and sure enough, the
documentation states that it only affects the linking of libraries
that appear after this option on the command line. So put it early for
the desired effect.
This prevents any of the private functions from being leaked out
through the library interface (at least when compiling with a
recent-enough gcc to support the visibility pragma).
Previously, we were building the final binary with this option, but not
the library. The library can benefit from it as well, (as pointed out
by Debian's lintian).
This fits with our general build philosophy of checking at configure
time for desired support, (rather than putting platform-specific
conditionals into our Makefiles).
Without this, trying to link with the gold linker would fail, (which meant
that notmuch could not be compiled out of the box on recent Fedora, nor
even on Debian when the binutils-gold package is installed).
This avoids "make test" emitting messages from three (3!) recursive
invocations of make. We change the invocations of the tests themselves
to occur directly from the shell script rather than having the shell
script invoke make again and using wildcards in the Makefile.
Various users were confused as to why they couldn't run notmuch
immediately after "make install", (with linker errors saying that
libnotmuch.so could not be found). The errors came from two different
causes:
1. The user had installed to a system library directory, but had not
yet run ldconfig.
2. The user had installed to some non-system directory, and had not
set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
With this change we fix both problems (on Linux) without the user
having to do anything additional. We first use ldconfig to find the
system library directories. If the user is installing to one of these,
then we run ldconfig as part of "make install".
For case (2) we use the -rpath and --enable-new-dtags linker options
to install a DT_RUNPATH entry in the binary. This entry tells the
dynamic linker where to find libnotmuch. Without the
--enable-new-dtags option only a DT_RPATH option would be installed,
(which has the drawback of not allowing any override with the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable).
Distributions (such as Debian and Fedora) don't want to see binaries
packaged with a DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH entry. This should be avoided
automatically as long as the packages install to standard locations,
(such as /usr/lib).
This was already telling the user how to run notmuch within emacs, but
not how to just run the notmuch command-line interface, (which, as it
turns out, is a prerequisite for running the emacs interface anyway).
So add a small paragraph here.
Eventually I'd like to automate this so that one or the other of these
files is canonical and the other is generated from it. Until then, add
this check to the release process to avoid a skewed release being
shipped.
On Linux, a C program that depends on a C library which in turn
depends on a C++ can be linked with the C compiler, (avoiding a direct
link from the program to the C++ runtime libraries).
Other platforms with less fancy linkers need to use the C++ compiler
for this linking.
Useful for verifying that our tar-file creation works. The tar-file
name can't easily be used as a target directly since it depends on the
current git revision.
Theese were previously pointing to "make VERSION=X.Y release", but
we've recently changed to an alternate scheme involving the updated
version in a file named "version".
We do this so that "git archive" produces a usable tar file without us
having to post-modify it, (since tools like git-buildpackage might not
give us an easy way to hook into the tar-file-creation step).
To support this we also have to change our preference to prefer the
git-described-based version (if available) and only if not available
do we fallback to using what's in the "version" file. Finally, we also
ovverride this preference when releasing, (where what's in the
"version" file wins).
Note that using our Makefile's rule to create a tar file still will
insert the git-based version into the tar file. This is useful for
creating snapshots which will correctly report the git version from
which they were created.
